A southern California man with a history of antisemitism has agreed to plead guilty to federal hate crime charges for shooting two Jewish men last year after they attended religious services, according to the Department of Justice.

Former Riverside resident Jaime Tran, 29, signed the plea agreement on Tuesday. Prosecutors charged the former UCLA dental student with two counts of hate crimes with intent to kill and two counts of using, carrying, and discharging a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence.
